If you are wondering how bluesky is gaining so much traction that's how. ADS.

The main problem with BLUESKY is that it's the same regurgitated shit you find everywhere else. As a brand new user here's the first 10 things in my feed:

1. Someone trying and failing to make a clever joke about the US Presidential election.
2. A picture of black hole (which is great!)
3. Semi-clever joke involving Professor X and Alvin and the Chipmunks
4. Self Described "transfem lesbian" screaming about how much they love women. I mean yikes it's creepy AF.
5. Boring US Political schlock about Lauren Boebert.
6. Science / Astronomy content
7. Video Game Post
8. Self Described "#1 Gayest Lesbian" screaming about how much they love women. A copypasta of the other and still creepy AF.
9. Another eye-roller "I am soooo depressed" meme.
10. Boring US Political schlock defending Dr. Fauchi

So BLUESKY seems to be Twitter v2, primarily inhabited by the Pre-Elon Blue CheckMark types. Can I "fix" that with filtering? Probably but if I do then the feed will slow down so much that even checking in once per day will probably be too often.

Same as in subscribe-to-download sites or create-account-to-see-link forums: Do they want dead accounts that much?
